USAGE:
Tebufenozide is a non-steroidal ecdysone agonist insecticide. It is used for the
control of lepidopteran pests in a variety of crops such as fruits, vegetables,
cotton, and forestry. It acts by mimicking the action of the insect molting
hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone, causing premature and incomplete molting in
susceptible insects, leading to their death.
